Comparing a superauto to this machine is like comparing an iPad to a home built desktop PC, a smartphone camera to a DSLR, a Sonos or Bose sound bar to a modular Hi-Fi system, etc...
The superauto is more convenient, press a button, get a coffee. And if you put in decent beans, and follow the recommendations regarding cleaning/maintenance, you will most likely get a decent shot. However, it won't last as long, and you will be limited, that is, don't expect to get the perfect cup exactly like you want it.
This machine does not compete with consumer-level superautos, it competes with other E-61 "home barista" type machines, which you can also find off-the-shelf.
